A leading midlands casino is celebrating the successful launch of a £2 million revamp by sharing its success with college students. 

Rainbow Casino in Birmingham has recently undergone a complete refurbishment and is set to refresh its in-house Clarendon restaurant in April of this year.

The innovative scheme with Warwickshire and Hinckley College has been set up to offer students an introduction to the industry with a gaming academy, apprenticeships and potential jobs on completion of courses.

This recent expansion of both its facilities and links with the college comes after a successful year for the casino which Director Hui Lam says is down to the unique and quality services they offer.

"Despite the economic downturn, we've seen a continued interest in the casino, restaurant and bar facilities and have been able to share this business growth with local students," Hui said.

"We don't charge a membership fee and have a huge selection of games and slot machines available, which what makes us so popular for both people looking for a different night out and those we welcome on a regular basis.

"We are keen to move people away from the negative connotations associated with casinos and gambling and show the unique packages on offer here at Rainbow Casino, with a quality of service and great atmosphere our visitors can always expect.

"Our links with the college have also allowed us to give back to the local community and encourage enthusiasm from students in the area, whilst educating them on how the industry works and providing valuable vocational experience for their future careers.

"We're looking forward to another successful year and developing our partnership with Warwickshire and Hinckley College and its students."

Rainbow Casino, which is based off the Hagley Road, further supports local businesses by hosting the Birmingham Business Networking Club on a monthly basis which brings together business men and women in the area to develop their connections.
